Theatre is people making art. That building you want to save? It's not the Coconut Grove Playhouse, and never was. It was just the shell the company inhabited. And it wasn't a very good shell. You will not find one designer or director who will tell how great that space was - because it wasn't. It was a hot mess, and a miserable place to stage anything.<br /> <br />Whatever glory that space may have had when it was a movie palace was long gone by World War 2. Its conversion to a live venue was a rush job, poorly executed even for the time. Any shred of architectural wonder the building may have had in the inside was completely removed a long time ago.<br /> <br />And the only notable architectural feature outside is the facade, which is going to be preserved. <br /><br />The Olympia Theatre actually IS the treasure you mistakenly believe the Playhouse to be: a grand piece of architecture that preserves our South Florid History. But it only puts on about 70 performances a year. It languishes, forgotten. And that is exactly what will happen to the Coconut Grove Playhouse if we do what you want to do.<br /><br />If you want to preserve something worthwhile, look right across the street: the E. W. F. Stirrup House is a legitimate architectural treasure that is in desperate need of saving. And I'll bet Joe Adler would host a fundraiser for you.C.L.J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01734352657431970430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6919587666858265958.post-56566342959844140332015-04-18T02:08:39.860-04:002015-04-18T02:08:39.860-04:00I am Sally Stern and I would like to apologize if ...I am Sally Stern and I would like to apologize if I have offended proponents of GablesStage. Just like GablesStage aficionados, I feel passionately about my cause, which is architectural preservation in Miami-Dade County. I don't know Mr. Adler, and have nothing against him or his theater company. To raze a city landmark for the benefit of an entity whose time is finite, is unfair to future generations who want to know and behold the rich architectural history of Miami. I cannot understand why GablesStage cannot find another venue to perform and leave the heritage and preservation of Coconut Grove Playhouse for future generations to see and admire. Architecture is a visual art and hopefully will be respected by other artists without being treated like a secondary art form that is dispensable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6919587666858265958.post-16294396997280417002015-03-22T01:30:45.814-04:002015-03-22T01:30:45.814-04:00Well said and they continue to burn actors and emp...Well said and they continue to burn actors and employees they are horrible people that will get what they deserve Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6919587666858265958.post-81259449022615123242015-03-20T22:27:47.764-04:002015-03-20T22:27:47.764-04:00Yes, they did.Yes, they did.C.L.J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01734352657431970430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6919587666858265958.post-29189721436248625012015-03-16T14:24:10.274-04:002015-03-16T14:24:10.274-04:00Bravo!Bravo!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05785408748400766599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6919587666858265958.post-64259762600460247052015-03-15T06:23:32.252-04:002015-03-15T06:23:32.252-04:00I have also been writing about the travails of the...I have also been writing about the travails of the Playhouse.<br /><br />My latest stories can be found here: notnowsilly.blogspot.com/search/label/The%20Coconut%20Grove%20Playhouse%20Trojan%20HorseHeadly Westerfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14922328866247035376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6919587666858265958.post-84715430297229796602015-03-14T21:23:42.675-04:002015-03-14T21:23:42.675-04:00Beautifully put, Chris!

Cutting and merging the script with the screenplay is not only illegal, it's also really presumptuous that the adapters know better than the playwright. If you're going to do the play, you do it as it was written. That's not only the moral thing to do, it's what they agreed to do when they got the license to put on the production.Mustang Bobbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06953564926706598987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6919587666858265958.post-14827989834615728092014-07-03T21:07:46.938-04:002014-07-03T21:07:46.938-04:00The Life is now in De;ray Square Arts or Delray Ar...The Life is now in De;ray Square Arts or Delray Ars Square - another defunkt movie theatre...creepy rerun of Fort Meyers?...omg!...seems like DRAMA is your middle name Mr. GW....you just LOVE to live it or act it or whatever - whatever, whatever, whatever.....I know that the guy playing Memphis is from an earlier cast.AliceInWonderlandhttp://www.zoominfo.com/p/Gary-Waldman/751722079?utm_source=Facebook&utm_medium=Sharing&utm_campaign=AddThis-Facebooknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6919587666858265958.post-12339443255267533712014-07-03T18:41:41.364-04:002014-07-03T18:41:41.364-04:00hello!!! how do we contact you? please
